My .02, it's just the nature of the beast for the car that it is, something you have to deal with. If want to throw money at it, so be it, I would have to put it into mods and not a bigger gas tank.

I do over 120 miles a day in mine 5 or 6 days a week....never bothers me to stop. The other thing to consider is adding all that liquid weight is only going to drop your mpg and mean you'll still need to fill up often.

No way an extra 20-30 lbs will change my mpg. But I put 25k miles on my car last year and I have to stop twice a week.

Eh, it was just a question to see if there was one. I had to buy a new tank anyway so figured if there was a bigger one I could swap in I would. Either way the new factory replacement tank is in so it's a done deal at this point.

You don't need a bigger tank...

Either there is something wrong with your car or you need to change the way you're driving in order achieve better fuel efficiency. I got 300+ miles on a tank of gas and that was driving on back roads/highways like a 21 year old would drive a mustang with 4.10s.

If you can't keep your foot out of the gas, which is understandable... don't complain about getting ****y fuel efficiency with an american sports car.
